I thank all concerned for your repeated invitations to join this discussion, however, the posts that have already been made, and especially the photographs of keris, make it very clear to me that I lack the current knowledge necessary to participate usefully.

Edit:- Reference to:-

may assist in clarification

Hello Andi,

Nice fittings of the keris shown in #39!

With what metal have the gaps in this blade been closed?

Regards,
Kai

P.S.: It would be really great, if you were to provide a translation of the manuscript you posted, Andi - I'm sure Donny will be glad to help. Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Kai

The blade looks like it has cold shuts on both sides almost the entire length.

thanks
